“This is a property with genuine character, evident in both its design and the warmth of its hosts. The breakfast alone, a truly hearty affair, sets a high bar, and the surrounding Durham Dales offer views that are quite simply some of the best you'll find. You'll also appreciate the considerable thought given to guest comfort, from remarkably comfortable beds to thoughtful touches that make a stay here feel truly considered.”
